Review on Convenient and Reliable Fish Mate F14 Aquarium Fish Feeder for Hassle-Free Feeding by Monica Satchell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, works well but works great with a slight adjustment to prevent moisture build up

Good product, works well. I have two of these that I use in the Eheim Aquastyle 9 Gallon Nano tanks. Eheim has a glass lid with a hole of about 1 inch. If this product is placed over a hole and the lid is closed, condensation will collect under the lid. I didn't like the air line option because the air line has to go in and out the back directly under the feeder and the air line curves (an air connection directly on the back would be much better). Another option is to simply remove the lid, but this leaves the food pan fully open and much easier to hit or remove. The good news is that there is a very simple fix to this problem - I drilled a hole in the lid just above the compartment where the food enters the tank - this allows the moisture to rise straight up into the air instead of up collect. under the lid. Also note that I use kibble and some waffles - I haven't tried the flake feeder. I also added some small rubber feet under the feeder to raise it slightly off the glass cover as the built in feet are almost flush. In my opinion the manufacturer should just punch a hole in the cap and get rid of the airline option.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
